A DYNAMIC duo travelled to forty football grounds in just three days to film their catchy World Cup love song.

Sam McNulty and Paul Leahy, known as the Two Giraffes, began their tour last week have posted their video on You Tube which has already attracted more than 4,000 viewers.

The two pals had co-written the catchy song in memory of lifelong friend, football fan and established songwriter Steve Edgson who died of bowel cancer, aged 53 last January.

And now the ambitious pair will be sharing their song, entitled Pure Poetry, with hundreds of children across the city.

The pupils will be encouraged to whistle their way into the chorus which will be filmed in a bid to break the current world record of 4,700 children who have sung a chorus.

Already there have been 47 primary head teachers who have agreed to take part in the festive singing campaign which would involve a total of 14,000 children.

The pair made their one of their first visits to Allesley Primary School, in Antrim Close, where kids waved their hands in the air and whistled their way through the song.

They aim to cover all the schools during the festive football fever.

Songwriter Sam, from Earlsdon, said: “It will be the first World Cup we’ll be watching without Steve – he was a mad about football just like the rest of us.

“A group of us just sat down and thought why don’t we make a music video and get the kids to join in.

“We would get up at 4am in the morning to film at Coventry City, then we travelled to Newcastle, Sunderland, Wigan and Bolton to name a few.

"We were kicked out of Wolverhampton, Middlesborough and Wembley but it didn’t bother us.

“It’s a fantastic way of getting the schools involved – the kids have just finished their SATs and now they can really celebrate.”

“We sent the track to record company Universal but they turned us down so we decided to go for it on our own.

“It’s a love song about the beautiful game and it’s something the city can be proud of. We also wanted to get more boys inspired in writing lyrics and reading poetry to link it with their love of football.

“We’ve already got a lot of companies on board who are supporting us. This is what the city needs.”

Sam and Paul hope to raise £10,000 for the JJ’s Memorial Fund to support injured paratroopers and help families of soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan.
